3.13 Attendant dual controlThe ON/OFF key of the Attendant dual control is sealedwith a label, which indicates to read the user manual of theremote before using the Attendant dual control for thefirst time. You can remove the label after reading the usermanual.

The Attendant dual control is a component of the wheelchair’scontrol system, intended to allow attendants to interact with thesystem. The Attendant dual control allows the attendant to takecontrol of drive function, as configured and connected within thewheelchair’s control system.

Before using the Attendant dual control for the first time,you should familiarize well with its operation Invacarerecommends to test the behavior of the Attendant dualcontrol without an occupant to avoid injury. When handingover to other attendants, they need a sufficient instructionas well.

When two remote modules are connected in the same system, bothare capable of performing the same functions but only one of themhas control of the system at any one time. While one remote is incharge, the other does not respond to any commands except for itsON/OFF key, which can always turn off the system.

Powering up

Either of the remotes can power up the system with theirown ON/OFF key. The remote that powers up the system hascontrol of the system (remote-in-charge). The other remote

(remote-not-in-charge)has no control of the wheelchair except forits ON/OFF key, which can still be used to switch off the system.

The system is automatically powered up in drive mode one. As anattendant you cannot change the drive mode. You can just controlthe maximum speed with the speed dial on the attendant remote.

Powering down

No matter which remote is in charge in the dual remote system,the wheelchair can be powered down by pressing the ON/OFF keyon either remote.

Changing who’s in charge

To change which remote is in charge, power down the system witheither remote, and then power up the system again with the remotethat requires the control.

Remote-in-charge indication

All indicators, including thebattery gauge displays asnormal.

The battery gauge is switchedoff and all other indicatorsoperate normally.

Fault handling and indication

If a fault exists on one of the remotes in a dual remote system, thefault is indicated on both remotes.

24 1602969-B

Usage

If one of the remotes in a dual system is faulty, the system can bedriven with the other remote. If, however, the ON/OFF key on theremote-in-charge has a fault, the system does not operate.

If one of the remotes is disconnected from the system when it ispowered down, the remaining remote displays an error (refer toFlash code 2 in chapter 4.1.1 Error codes and diagnosis codes, page26) when the system is powered up again to indicate that it wasexpecting two remotes in the system. To remove the error, cyclethe power with the ON/OFF key.

4.2 OONAPU (“Out Of Neutral At Power Up”)OONAPU (“Out Of Neutral At Power Up”) is a safety feature thatprevents accidental driving movements, when:

• the system is powering up,• when the system comes out of an inhibit or drive lock-out.

Drive OONAPU warning

If the system is powered up (or comes out of an inhibit state) whilethe joystick is not in the center position, a Drive OONAPU warningis displayed.

During a Drive OONAPU warning, the battery gauge LEDs and thedrive wheel indicator (if fitted) flash continually (all on, followed by alloff) to alert the user. In this state the wheelchair does not drive. Ifthe joystick is returned to the center position within five seconds,the warning clears and the wheelchair drives normally.

The fault is displayed by the batterygauge LEDs and the drive wheel indicator (if fitted) flashing continuallyand the status indicator flashing red. In this state the wheelchairdoes not drive.
